I am thrilled to learn that Chintels School is ranked
#1 for innovative pedagogy by an EducationWorld
“Grand Jury of eminent educators. This is well-
deserved recognition of the creative efforts of our
curriculum designers and teachers to develop enjoyable
teaching-learning pedagogies. Since the outbreak
of the deadly Coronavirus pandemic, our teachers
have designed engaging online play-way pedagogies
with parents collaborating with facilitators to teach
foundational reading skills. While dance, music, singing
and storytelling are daily activities, globally renowned
magicians, storytellers and bubbleologists among others,
are invited to interact and showcase their talent on the
school’s Facebook page on weekends” — Dr. Kavitha
Khurana Vij, principal, The Chintels School,
Kanpur (520 students and 36 teachers).
We are delighted that the EW Grand Jury has
honoured us with the Campus Design Excellence
“award. This will motivate our teachers’ community
to establish new standards in early childhood education.
Bearing in mind that early childhood experiences are
critical to children’s emotional and intellectual develop-
ment, our campus is carefully designed to suit every need
of young learners. Based on the Arabian Nights theme,
DPS Castle of Dreams has an innovative layout, colour-
ful furniture and a stimulating learning environment
that inspires activity-based, multi-sensory, and thematic
playway teaching methodologies” — Vandana Dhupar,
principal, DPS, Kolar Road, Bhopal (preschool: 56
students and five teachers)
